@waldoarreola90 If you want your hay to mold or heat up and burn your barn down, then yes. Otherwise you Mow it down, let it dry out a few hours or a day. Then if you have a hay tedder, use it to fluff up the hay. If not rake it up into windrows and let it dry out more. Once it gets to smelling right and isn't too green and still damp, its time to bale. Also a moisture tester works too. Any question's feel free to ask.
do you rake this hay or just bale it after you cut it some people turn it over and let the bottom dry out there will be some green hay on the bottom but not much
@brian93ist First we mow it with the haybine. The next day we use our hay tedder to fluff the hay so it will dry out faster. And the third day we rake it up, let it air out a few hours then bale it.
@ACFarmer89 a 5000 is a nice tractor what other trouble have you had with it? im going to get one and bale square bales with it my friend has a 3000 4610 with a loader and 2 5610's with loaders the tractors have 1500-3000 hours one 5610 had a brush mower the state owned it its blue though do you still have this tractor?
I spent half my childhood mowing with an identicle N.H. haybine. I sure do love my discbine now..lol. I still have a haybine and they were the thing back then .
my friend got his finger chooped off by one of these. he forgot to undo the hydrolic hoses and i kicked and took it right off. so its sort of his fault.
i have done this a few times. when you split it in half and go back an forth sooner or later you have to split the half in half or go about a mile from side to side.
